climate map

Regional weather diagram

A climate map is a map showing the typical weather patterns of a region over time—temperature ranges, precipitation, humidity, or seasonal variations.

Climate maps use color coding or shading to distinguish zones: The climate map showed the tropics in red and temperate zones in green.

They're standard tools in geography education and environmental planning.
